PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method of pickles and a pickle tool without limitation of strength and size of a container.SOLUTION: The method preserves and matures pickle materials by applying compression pressure on each of the pickle materials, and puts the materials in a soft resin bag whose shape can be deformed, applies pressure on the pickle materials from the outside of the bag, and saves and matures them in that state. The pickle tool has holes with grooves 4 evenly at four locations in one end direction of a bamboo mat 7, is equipped with an elastic cord 5 for compression by winding through the holes with grooves, and is provided with a stopping ball 8 in the middle location between both ends of the cord.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】容器の強度、大きさに制約のない漬物の製造方法及び漬物具を提供する。【解決手段】漬物素材毎に圧縮圧力を掛けて容器内で貯蔵と熟成をさせる方式であって、形状変形可能な軟質系樹脂袋に素材を入れ、該袋の外側から漬物素材に圧力を掛け、その状態で保存及び熟成をさせる。漬物具は、巻き簾7の一端方向に溝付穴4をほぼ均等に4ヶ所設け、溝付穴を通して巻きつけ圧縮ようの伸縮紐5を具備し、該紐の両端と中間位置に止め球8を設ける。【選択図】図1
